      ARM: 6748/1: ignore mdesc->boot_params if out of range · 3572bea8
      Nicolas Pitre authored
      
      
      The initial MMU table created in head.S contains a 1 MB mapping at the
      start of memory to let the early kernel boot code access the boot params
      specified by mdesc->boot_params.
      
      When using CONFIG_ARM_PATCH_PHYS_VIRT it is possible for the kernel to
      have a different idea of where the start of memory is at run time, making
      the compile-time determined mdesc->boot_params pointing to a memory area
      which is not mapped.  Any access to the boot params in that case will
      fault and silently hang the kernel at that point.  It is therefore a
      better idea to simply ignore mdesc->boot_params in that case and give
      the kernel a chance to print some diagnostic on the console later.
      
      If the bootloader provides a valid pointer in r2 to the kernel then this
      is used instead of mdesc->boot_params, and an explicit mapping is already
      created in the initial MMU table for it.  It is therefore a good idea to
      use that facility when using a relocated kernel.

      ARM: 6749/1: fold lookup_machine_type() into setup_machine() · dce72dd0
      Nicolas Pitre authored
      Since commit 6fc31d54
      
       there is no callers for lookup_machine_type()
      other than setup_machine(). And if the former fails it won't return,
      therefore the error path in the later is dead code.  Let's clean
      things up by merging them together.
